Master of Arts (MA) in Pastoral Ministry

Charisma University’s Master of Pastoral Ministry is a comprehensive effort to explore the mystery of God’s working in society through the people of God. This focused theological vision, emphasized by the Second Vatican Council and through ecumenical conversations, empowers church members to fully engage in life and ministry. The Master of Pastoral Ministry at Charisma University develops lay ministers and deacon aspirants who serve in parishes, hospice programs, schools, hospitals, archdiocesan administrative offices, and private practice. Through this program, students are provided with firm theological foundations, fundamental ministerial skills, and resources for ministry. Cast opportunities are available for the development of personal spirituality and a professional ministerial network.
